creatures SexLab Aroused Creatures SE (2024-06-21) v04.14

Why is Nothing happening? / Why are creatures are not interested?

 

Go to the Aroused Creatures MCM > Help page. This lists potential configuration issues in both Aroused Creatures and SexLab. Hover over an option to see an explanation at the bottom of the menu.

 

Make sure that SexLab installation is complete in the SexLab MCM and that Allow Creature Animation is enabled (which can take a minute or so to complete).

 

Check that you have animations installed and enabled for the specific creature (and sexes) you are trying to engage. This may require adding supporting SLAL packs.

 

Why are NPCs or Creatures T-posing, stuck, frozen, or sliding?

 

Make sure you have installed FNIS and FNIS Creature Pack for SE. Run Generate FNIS for Users with the HKX Compatibility patch enabled and deal with any errors or warnings – they are all important!

 

Ensure that all of your mods are for Special Edition. LE animations will not work in SE and will cause T-pose.

 

Why are actors just standing and clipping through each other during animations?

 

Go to SexLab MCM > Rebuild & Clean and click on Clean System. Follow the guidance in the pop-ups. Afterwards you will need to reconfigure SexLab and re-register any SLAL packs.

 

Why do creatures have no penises during sex?

 

Install More Nasty Critters and Creature Framework. If these are already installed and creatures are still not equipping penises go to the Creature Framework MCM and use the Re-register All Mods option.

 

Why is my game crashing (CTD) whenever an Aroused Creature animation starts?

 

This is due to an incompatible or corrupt aroused mesh being applied to the creature. Make sure that you have installed the SE version of More Nasty Critters, Animated Beast Cocks, etc. LE meshes will cause the game to CTD the moment it tries to load them.

 

Check your downloaded mod archives to ensure they are whole and uncorrupted. With 7-zip installed right-click on the archive file and select 7-zip > Test Archive (this can be found under Show More Options in Windows 11]. If the archive is corrupt then re-download, test again, and reinstall it.

 

Why is my save corrupt after uninstalling Aroused Creatures?

 

Do not uninstall mods mid-playthrough! Consider simply disabling Aroused Creatures in the MCM (General Settings > Performance > Mod Active) and leaving it installed until your next playthrough. With the mod disabled like this it will have no further affect on your game.

 

If you must uninstall it then:

    1. Go to a small interior cell with no creatures, deactivate Aroused Creatures in the MCM: General Settings > Performance > Mod Active.
    2. Wait for one hour in the Wait menu then save and quit.
    3. In your mod manager disable the Aroused Creatures ESP only. But do not uninstall the mod files yet.
    4. Load the last save and wait for one hour again, then save and quit.
    5. Uninstall the mod files completely in your mod manager then reload the last save.

 

If at any point in this process the save is reported as corrupt then open the console at the main menu and enter coc qasmoke. When you load in, open the escape menu and load the last save from there.

 

If this does not work and your save continues to be reported as corrupt and you cannot roll back to a save from before AC was installed, then your only option is to leave the mod installed and deactivate it in the MCM until your next playthrough.

 

Why are engagements failing because of location restrictions, even though all locations are allowed?

 

Something is overriding the Aroused Creatures scripts and it is incompatible with the latest version. Make sure none of Aroused Creatures files are being overridden. If any of the files have been manually replaced then reinstall Aroused Creatures and make sure it overrides everything.

 

How do I stop creatures walking into me and pushing my character around at the end of pursuits?

 

In the Aroused Creatures MCM increase the Capture Radius under PC / NPC Auto Settings > Pursuit.

 

Why do some creatures take a very long time to start an animation?

 

By default SexLab tries to let actors approach each other before starting an animation but some large creatures seem to have difficulty getting close enough and have to wait for a timer to run down that forces them to teleport. To avoid this go to the SexLab MCM and uncheck the Animation Settings > Disable Starting Teleport option.

 

Why doesn't this mod work with hostile creatures?

 

Aroused Creatures was designed from day one to provide immersive sexual interaction with creatures outside combat. There are already mods that handle combat sex, and Aroused Creatures is designed to compliment them, so your character does not need to get into an actual fight with a creature to start an animation with it. As such, the mod is designed to specifically screen out hostile creatures, and it does not have any system for handling combat situations other than minimizing interference.

 

The bottom line: Combat sex mods like Defeat already enable sex with enemy creatures, Aroused Creatures does something else.

• Updating may generate errors in the papyrus log during the first run due to changes in the core player script. These should be temporary and non-intrusive.
• Convenient Horses and Immersive Horses use their own dialogue systems for the player horse which interferes with the system used by Aroused Creatures. If CH or IH are installed AC will activate a compatibility measure to prevent game-breaking issues. This will result in the player having no AC-related dialogue options for the player's horse. The animal can still be engaged automatically, using the direct invitation hotkey or by directing an NPC to engage it. Simple Horse SE is a very lightweight alternate to CH that works with Aroused Creatures.
• Aroused Creatures is intended for friendly creatures. For sex during combat use SexLab Defeat. For other wild creatures use One With Nature SE. Keep in mind that OWN may not work immediately if configured mid-game.
• The MCM Aggressive Animations list can be quite slow to load when there are a lot of creature animations, especially when using filters.
• Starting an animation can take some time. The more SL animations you have registered the longer this will take.
• Horses summoned from the Hentai Creatures (one of the More Nasty Critters mods) mod can cause CTD when banishing while AC is installed.

SexLab Aroused Creatures SE v04.14 (40032) (2024-06-21):

• Added: Actor claiming scene. This is a method to allow other mods to check if it's safe to use this actor. For instance, if akActor.GetCurrentScene() is anything other None, then the actor should not be used for anything. This is something mods should be doing anyway, simply to avoid interfering with normal quest scenes. SLAC checks scene participation before starting anything, will claim an actor when they start an SL animation, and keeps that claim until any queued animations are complete and the actor is free to return to normal behaviour.
• Added: Options to disable all actor claiming or just claiming of suitors and queued creatures, and for releasing all currently claimed actors.
• Added: Compatibility option for Display Model under Other Settings > Compatibility.
• Added: Options to only allow specifically permitted creatures and/or NPCs in Auto Settings. Actors can be marked as Blocked, Permitted or Default by using the Target Select Key on them and changing their state in the Help page.
• Added: Option to allow or prevent Suitors based on PC crouching state. This only controls when they begin following the PC and does not affect creatures that are already following.
• Added: Option to only allow suitors to approach while the PC is naked. This only looks at slot 52 and will respect the Naked override for that armor in Auto Settings. Currently, armor class is ignored.
• Added: Option to allow follower creatures and the player's horse to become suitors.
• Fixed: Group animations not working when using SLP+.
• Fixed: Consecutive horse refusal bucking animations without dismount in some circumstances. This includes a 30s delay for subsequent dismount attempts and a check to ensure that the mount is a horse, since that is the rearing animation being used.
• Fixed: Creature dialogue options appearing for some talking activators.
• Fixed: Help > Match Creature Genders option info reporting old option location.
• Fixed: Outdated reference to depreciated Allow Male Receiver option in failure code info.
• Changed: Dragons disallowed for auto-engagement by default (AC MCM > Allowed Creatures)
• Changed: Gender and Consent MCM options under PC/NPC Auto Settings now grouped to gain an option slot for Only Permitted Creatures (we are still right up against the MCM option slot limit of 128 on this page).
• Changed: Active Quest Scene indicator under Other Settings > Fixes will now show the scene for any targeted actor, or the player if none is targeted. This is still buggy, possibly due to some asynchronous activity in the scene management system, so it may take time for the actual scene ID and quest info to be displayed.
• Changed: Reduced log spam when both PC and NPC auto engagements are disabled.
• Changed: Slight update to logo for the mod's 10th anniversary.

 

SexLab Aroused Creatures SE v04.13 (40030) (2024-03-29):

• Added: Compatibility option under Other Settings > Compatibility for mods using the DHLP Suspension mod event. By default, auto-engagement will be disabled until the resume event is sent.
• Added: Deviously Cursed Loot compatibility option. By default, auto-engagement will be disabled during running Cursed Loot scenes. This can be disabled in under Other Settings > Compatibility.
• Added: Hotkey override for auto-engagement state. Pressing this will set both PC/NPC Auto Settings > PC Enabled and NPC Enabled to OFF, and will halt any running pursuit quests, including those started by dialogue and clear any suitors and queued creatures. A following press will restore the previous state for the PC and NPC options.
• Added: Creature dialogue option for anal sex. This is not currently reflected in the notifications, if enabled, which should use generic phrasing instead. Feel free to add your own in the slacNotifications.json - the syntax documentation can be found in slac_Notify.psc.
• Added: The default profile will now be loaded at the beginning of a new game. This will allow the user to override the default profile by manually copying a saved one over slacSettingsProfile0.json so that the new profile will be applied automatically in new games. Settings dependent on SexLab animations that may not have loaded at this point, such as Allowed Creatures and Aggressive animation tags, will not be applied fully.
• Added: Option to manually clear data stored by Aroused Creatures via PapyrusUtil under Other Settings > Testing. This is for testing purposes only and will cause potentially serious issues if used in an on-going game. This **might** be useful for clean re-installation of the mod.
• Added: Initial support for SexLab P+ (Other Settings > Compatibility > SexLab P+ Compatibility). This fork of SexLab is a work in progress, so the support is too. There are plenty of things that are still in development. The current SLAC build is compiled with v2.5.0.0 and will not work with earlier versions. This option is on by default, even if an incompatible version of SLP+ is installed.
• Added: Help page now displays installed SexLab Framework version string and number.
• Added: More debugging output for problematic areas, such as player horse bucking.
• Added: Option to purge unused creature race keys from allowed creature data. To support default profile loading, the new system keeps allowed race configurations even if they have no animations, so the config can be applied later if/when suitable animations are added. This option just allows clearing out unused race keys and potentially speeding up AC operations (but not noticeably).
• Fixed: Creature Arousal not checked during direct invitation.
• Fixed: Some collar types incorrectly displayed as "Amulet" in the MCM.
• Fixed: Errors generated by MCM script when trying to fetch data from missing animations.
• Fixed: Some creatures missing race names in notifications. This appears to be a new issue in 1.6.1130+ and may need further work.
• Fixed: Suitors queued for rough consensual sex using aggressive animations, switching to consensual animations.
• Fixed: Empty strings in disallowed creature race data, causing unnecessary checks for blocked races.
• Fixed: Player bucked by horse with automatic engagement enabled, occasionally pursued by the same horse or another creature while the SL animation is being prepared.
• Fixed: Non-critical papyrus error when an NPC scan starts just as the PC uses a loading door.
• Changed: Dialogue & Interaction > Invite Opens Dialogue options now disabled in the MCM if the Creature Dialogue settings do not support them.
• Changed: Added SEQ file, just in case.
• Changed: Default PC/NP arousal under PC/NPC Auto Settings is now 80, to avoid unexpected consent changes for default queuing options.
• Changed: Clarified description of PC/NPC Auto Settings > Armor & Clothing > Naked Arousal Modifier.
• Changed: Disallowed creatures races are now recorded, even if the race has no available animations. A new option, Other Options > Fixes > Purge Race Key Lists, has been added to allow manually removing unused races to potentially speed up creature scanning.
• Changed: Help page now checks specific SexLab Framework version ranges and warns if the installed version falls outside these. This includes SLP+ which must be v2.5 or later.
• Changed: Altered some debug output to remove the "slac_" string. This is to allow faster scanning of logs for script errors. There will still be normal instances of the string from SkyUI and MCM operations.
• Issue: Creature race names are not resolving reliably from 1.6.1130 on. AC's notification system now employs a number of fallbacks to try and keep the messages readable, but the result may not always be ideal.
• Issue: Player's horse may become inaccessible when using Poser Hotkeys mod. Approach the horse and hit \[End\] which should stop the blocking PH AI package. PH can be toggled off with [Num-/].
• Issue: Auto-engagements triggering continuously when using SLP+. As-of-release, there are issues in SLP+ with mod events preventing arousal reduction from participation in scenes.
• Issue: Possible conflicts with mods that alter interaction behaviour, such as various forks of Block Steal, which can cause occasional issues with silent creature dialogue, especially horses. This may result in the dialogue menu sometimes opening again after closing.
• Other: The Aggressive Animations page is disabled when using SLP+. Changing the disposition of animations in-game is not supported by SLP+. The current advice is to edit and recompile the SLSB animation pack the problem animation comes from.

 

SexLab Aroused Creatures SE v4.12 (40029) (2023-06-09):

• Fixed: NPC dialogue group option only engaging selected creature.
• Fixed: Target selection not always collecting actor references for notification system testing under Other Settings.
• Fixed: Unwanted spaces added in notification interpolations.
• Fixed: Notifications loading and generation performance shortfall.
• Fixed: Notification testing target actors taking reversed rolls.
• Fixed: Lagging display of animation tags info in Aggressive Animations MCM page.
• Fixed: Pursuit escape notifications not displayed.
• Fixed: Pursuit fail/scare/escape notifications not displaying correctly in some circumstances.
• Added: Notification tags to identify unique/non-unique NPCs allowing for more flexible syntax.
• Added: Held torches are now treated as weapons for the purposes of auto-engagement restrictions.
• Added: Options to allow automatic pursuit and engagement of PC and NPCs while menus are open. Found under Other Settings > Testing. These should be used with caution as they can cause issues with quest progression and character animation.
• Added: Clearer indication in log and console of notifications JSON file loading situation, i.e. updating due to FileVersion change or forced through FileVersion set to 0 less or via MCM Notifications Testing option.
• Changed: Mod initialisation now only registers a 10 second update event with no other calls. This is intended to reduce script load for new games and perhaps mitigate issues some users have encountered with script suspension or the mod simply failing to operate at all. This is untested as a solution as the issue has so far not been reproducible in the development environment, and the root cause remains unidentified.
• Changed: Engagements with queued suitors will be treated as consensual while obeying aggressive (rough) animation selection. Engagements with creature joining the queue after the suitors will use the PC/NPC Auto Settings > Queuing consent options.
• Changed: Allow skipping reload of notifications JSON when loading a save if the JSON FileVersion is unchanged and is not less than 1 or missing. This should speed up the maintenance process on loading saves so AC is functional sooner.
• Changed: MCM General Settings reorganised to reduce empty space.
• Other: Removed unused legacy dialogue script file. Some unused scripts remain in the mod as they are attached to objects such as spells, the data for which can persist in save files after removal. Deleting the scripts or spell records could generate errors and potentially contribute to save corruption. These scripts do not otherwise affect the mod or game at all so leaving them in is harmless.
• Other: Minor changes and corrections to slacNotifications.json and MCM localisation file.
